Rusty-flanked Treecreeper

Certhia nipalensis

The Rusty-flanked Treecreeper, also known as the Nepal Treecreeper, is a small, elusive bird belonging to the family Certhiidae. Its plumage is an intricate pattern of browns and whites, providing excellent camouflage against the tree bark it so often frequents.

Identification Tips

This species can be identified by its slender, down-curved bill, perfect for probing into crevices in search of insects. Its upperparts are mottled with brown and white, while the defining rusty flanks give this bird its common name.

Habitat

The Rusty-flanked Treecreeper is at home in both boreal and temperate forests, where it can be seen deftly navigating the trunks and branches of trees.

Distribution

This bird graces the northern regions of India, the mountainous landscapes of Nepal and Bhutan, and extends its range into western Yunnan.

Behaviour

True to its name, the Rusty-flanked Treecreeper exhibits a creeping behavior as it ascends tree trunks in a spiral fashion, meticulously searching for insects hidden within the bark.

Conservation status

The IUCN Red List categorizes the Rusty-flanked Treecreeper as Least Concern, indicating that, for now, this species does not face immediate threats to its survival.

I use this app all the time as it’s quick and easy to log individual sightings or whole birding sessions. It’s an excellent way to meet new people and the forum is full of really friendly people. The challenges are a great way to get involved and learn more about birds. Cannot recommend it enough!

Really great app
It’s easy to use and it’s fun to log the birds you notice on a walk or just in your garden. There’s a option to record the birds you see in a session which is really nice. Good excuse to stop for a while and just watch birds. I am also enjoying the information part where you can find out fact about birds from all over the world.

Great app for learning Birds
I’ve been using the app for a couple of months and love it....Someone said it’s like a real life Pokémon Go for birds. They’re not far off! It’s something that the family can do that gets you out and about. Well worth downloading no matter your age.
